R2 vs Perth Glory | Sun 16 Oct | 9:00pm | SS2

Our ball movement is so slow. We allow teams to slide across easily. The ball has to move faster.

Rather boring

If you pull a player to the ground by his shirt, when he is on the attack, you can expect a yellow card every time. 

No its just that Parkhouse isn't a defender fact!

Durante with a rocket!

When Vince Lia is considered to be the lynchpin of our midfield, I'm not sure we'll win any games this season.

fixed

Agree with whoever said that questions need to be asked of Ernie

Absolutley no chemistry or combination in midfield and one dimensional tactically

for several seasons

our football is just pointless

what's the plan when we attack?

when did krishna last influence a game?

I cannot see any pattern to our play

After 6 defeats on the bounce, questions would be asked in any other league in the world. Can't see us getting better than a draw next week either.

180 minutes and no goals too.

Guess you missed the replay they showed then.

maybe that's the plan? you can't defend what doesn't make sense

Well at least we haven't conceded a third, that makes us better than the Mariners... Right guys?.... Right? 

Clear pattern - get the ball to Finkler, Kosta, Krishna, and hope for the best.

i'd love to see how our km's compare with other teams

we seem to have a whole lot of guys covering very little ground in midfield

I did some stats end of last year.  With Burns he averaged 1.5ppg. Without its less than a point per game. It doesnt feel like we're going anywhere

Next weeks game should be fun

Its the lack of width that gets me... we don't seem to get in behind teams and just pass the ball about meaninglessly in the middle of the park.

I know Ernie can't say anthing different, but I hate all the, this is our best pre season ever, our best squad ever bull shark... we have massive wholes in our squad and we all know it.

new season same flaws

conviniently the ref misses a late studs up tackle on the keeper!

I bet there is a break in there.

That is a red red red

2 shark seasons, one good one, and another shark season looking to be on the way. No change in tactics or formation for 3 full years.

Start looking for a new coach I'd say.

Shocker

utter sharke!

To a degree, I agree with this, we're playing balls to the feet of Krishna and Kosta, they're known for their pace, not their first touch and passes. When we lose the ball, we have our full backs in the oppositions attacking third, and we're left with two centre backs and a holding midfielder, while everyones up the park. Unless something drastic changes, I on't see us finishing above 8th anymore. 

We had fifteen minutes of the game  whilst they warmed up ,the rest has been dire,Ernie really has to sort this out ,Sydney next week could be horrible if this lot don't start to fire ! 

Damn. I hope we don't have to play Italiano in the next few games...

I like goals and at least one team playing football.

That I'll get

It's exactly how Victory played, until they became shark and Ernie got binned.

My point as well is that Burns in that season papered over some big cracks. He scored goals out of nowhere 

there really is no justice in this world when Rossi gets booked for a superb tackle, and that completely reckless lunge goes unpunished

unlikely to get anything with this sort of attack until maybe CCM in a few weeks time, sydney, victory and Newcastle up next

I see what the plan is, to overtake the NZ Knights losing streak
